Phoronix: WebM, Theora Acceleration Talked About For Gallium3D
Earlier this week I mentioned a student developer looking to partake in Google's Summer of Code was interested in creating an H.264 state tracker for Gallium3D whereby any graphics card with a Gallium3D driver could have H.264 video decoding support using VA-API / VDPAU and accelerating the operations in shaders on the GPU, where in theory at least it would be universally supported across all drivers on this architecture. It's still looking hopeful that this will be hacked on this summer, but a few interesting points have been expressed...
